Fed-Up_Patriot - You mean just like US soldiers who massacre civilians are prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law"! US justice is a bad joke.
In any case, you completely missed the point. It's not about how likely a situation is, it's about the moral equivalence. The reason Americans think it's OK to kill anyone you want to, anywhere in the world, with no legal evidence whatsoever, is because you think you have more moral rights than any other people in the world. THAT is why you are hated across most of the world.
The US soldiers are enforcing the law.. WTH are you talking about.. Pakistan is doing nothing.. I guess we should just sit here and take it. As far as being hated around the world.. I could care fr1cken less. Most of these people are not our friend.. The only thing I'm worried about is our stopping these terrorist before they commit more harm... And buy the way that man's name was on our stack of 50 cards for years.. Do you remember this? Did pakistan even try to bring him in for questioning.. H@ll no.. don't tell me nobody knew he was there.

by finkfurst4 June 5, 2012 10:38 AM EDT thechooch1 - "Pakistan is harboring terrorists, we are not" Are you REALLY sure about that? I bet before 9/11 you were sure there were no terrorists training in the USA!
Why don't you answer the question?
You proposed a hypothetical question about Pakistan bombing the USA. You might as well asked what we would do if the Sun didn't rise tomorrow. NOT going to happen.
EmpireGeorge, thechooch1 - Let's get to fundamental morals..... Which has killed more innocent civilians in the last 10 years, al Qaeda or the US armed forces?
finkfurst4 I rarely agree with George, but other than the name calling he is right on. Wars kill innocent civilians, in your world the USA should have just sat back and let al Qaeda blow innocents up in the States and throughout the world?
Speedy information needs to be given to killer drones; thousands of new spies must be recruited and their salaries doubled. Islamic militants should be torn apart before they touch a weapon. There is no reason that Sheikh al-Libi was given the chance to spawn 50 children.
thechooch1 - "Pakistan is harboring terrorists, we are not" Are you REALLY sure about that? I bet before 9/11 you were sure there were no terrorists training in the USA!
EmpireGeorge - "pin-point precision"..... And that depends entirely on 'intelligence'! Remember WMD in Iraq?
"we would stop them long before ..... Just like you did before 9/11!
I think we can see who's dumb!
The next time the US is attacked I think it will be time for whoever is responsible to see an American sunrise.. I'm growing tired of these rogue nations harboring terrorist - and that includes Pakistan.
First of all finkfurst4. If Pakistan had "intelligence" about a terrorist leader on our soil - the US gov't would do its job and arrest this person and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law or we would extradite them to stand trial. The same sort of respect is not happening the other way.
But the very situation you propose is extremely hypothetical.. I was not aware that the US was harboring an army of known terrorist groups that go out and strike other nations under their own cognition. If so - please give me the names of these supposed deadly US terrorist groups that we are harboring that are such a threat to the peace and stability of the world.
fedup12 don't know where you came up with your 6000 number, but how much do you value an American life? Do you prefer either not going after them, or endangering our military members?
I don't know what 6000 number you are talking about and you've got your people confused. "fedup12" is somebody else who posts here from time to time on CBS. My handle is "Fed-Up_Patriot". Maybe you should respond to "fedup12" wherever it was that he posted this "6000" number. Respectfully, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Oh wait a minute... Was the issue that "fedup12" replied to me I didn't see it and then you replied. After this somebody come along and flagged his comment and had it taken down? I'm confused. I don't know what happened here.
